21st Century Parks

Closed

C21P wishes to increase attractiveness and quality of life in towns and cities in the 2 Seas area by exploring and bringing to life the concept of ‘21st century parks’. Both partners recognise the important contribution made by open spaces and parks to the quality of life in their respective areas. They face similar challenges caused by significant increases in population due to tourist traffic during the summer season and share a common aspiration to create appealing and sustainable open spaces for local communities. The good practices and lessons learned will have direct relevance and transferability to other coastal towns. To achieve their results, partners will explore ideas of 21st Century parks and open spaces, and the diverse potential for users and uses of these spaces. They will then work on innovative design plans, and involve the users in the process. The pilots will then enable some of the plans to be evaluated in view of producing recommendations and a good practice guide on 21st century open space design.
